WINEMAKER'S NOTE
"Juicy and round with plum and red cherry flavors... It's unpretentious and perfectly pitched for everyday drinking."-Wines & Spirits Brilliant garnet red color. Red fruits and spices on the nose. The mouth reveals rounded tannins (thanks to the stay in the oak barrels), a warm and full-bodied wine with an uncommon and lasting aromatic intensity. The proof that Côtes-du-Rhône can be a serious and elegant wine. 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and 10% Mourvedre.
